Abstract
The invention provides a novel interconnector of presscontact type of a rod-like configuration used as sandwiched between two circuit boards for electric connection therebetween. Different from the conventional interconnectors of the similar types composed of a rod-like member of an insulating rubbery elastomer and a plurality of linear conductive bodies embedded in the rod member penetrating therethrough, the inventive interconnector is further provided with at least one insulating sheet member made of a material with higer rigidity than the rubbery elastomer as embedded within or bonded to the surface of the rod member extending longitudinally. By virtue of the sheet member, the Poisson deformation of the rod member in the longitudinal direction under a compression is prevented so as to improve the reliability of the electric connection. Further, the sheet member is bent or curved as viewed in the longitudinal direction so as to facilitate absorption of the local stress in the rod member under compression in contribution to further improvement of the stability in the electric connection with the interconnector.
